Having been solely missed last year after being dropped from the F1 calendar due to the pandemic, the drivers return to the exhilarating street circuit of Monte Carlo this Sunday. Read on to find out how to get a Monaco Grand Prix live stream and watch the F1 action from anywhere in the world.

With a 29 point gap having now opened between them and Mercedes in the Constructors' Championship, Red Bull will be desperate for a good showing from Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

Verstappen remains Lewis Hamilton's main rival in this year's title hunt, but the Belgian-Dutch star now has a 14-point deficit to make up and will likely have been disheartened by the manner in which the British driver stole the lead from him last time out in a breathless Spanish Grand Prix.

Many F1 pundit's see Hamilton's main threat in Monte Carlo coming from another team, with Maclaren's Monaco expert Daniel Ricciardo likely to shine once more in the principality, while Formula One newcomer Lando Norris will be looking to make his mark in arguably the sport's most famous race following his sparkling start to the season.
